What’s a Wiki?
A wiki is a group-editable website. Wikis are composed of web pages you can write on, enabling fast and easy collaboration.
The word “wiki” comes from a Hawaiian word for “quick”. Wikis were invented about 10 years ago by Socialtext advisor and friend Ward Cunningham. Wikis became the collaboration tool of choice because they are simple and flexible.
Most wikis today still require technical skill to install and use, while others are full of confusing features.
